Faith is not something static. It is flexible, stretching and bending and molding as our lives continue on the journey that God places us on. It doesn't mean that it is weak or fragile. It just means that it grows. It leaves room for doubt, but in the end gives us the strength and hope to live our lives.
Faith changes. I sure hope it does anyway. As we meet more people have more experiences and god's holy spirit works through these people and experiences, our eyes should be opened and we should see things anew.
I always knew what I believed. I knew what was right and what was wrong and no one could tell me any different. Fortunately, I was wrong. The Holy Spirit could tell me different. God working through my education, the people I met, and the fullness of God's creation opened my eyes to new ways of seeing things. Faith wasn't static and neither is the way I see the world now. Join me this Sunday as I address one of the issues facing our denomination today and maybe give us all new eyes to see where God is leading our understanding of faith.
Love,
